The offline degrade probe proved the mechanism: every Holtburg building
carries PORT nodes ONLY in its level-0 GfxObj (out to ~24-48 m); every
degraded level has zero. Retail walks the CURRENT degrade level BSP
(part->gfxobj[deg_level]) - that is what limits look-in punches to the
nearest buildings. WalkBuilding gains the degrade ladder +
SelectDrawingBsp (band pick; UpdateViewerDistance hysteresis is a port
TODO), the walk selects per viewer distance, the adapter builds
per-level BSPs, and the stab-list load rule (CLandBlock::init_buildings
@0052fd80: a full-res block loads exactly its buildings portal stab
cells) replaces load-everything in the landscape builder. The sweep now
shows clean rosters with all far-building punches gone; remaining
deltas: the near buildings 001a/0022 (50 m/28 m center distance vs the
48 m band edge - sphere-adjusted distance/hysteresis to port) and the
one ring-1 frustum boundary pair (aab50002/a9b3003c).
